The rim-light is excellent. I think the original pic probably does have more light and detail in the figures - scanners generally are poor at picking out detail in darker areas. But what I most like here is the content - a genuine, unposed, humorous moment.

This is excellent! Your title and comment too!
As all before me mentioned the light is beautiful and the DOF just right. I'd have preferred to see the frame moved a little to the left, i.e. showing more of the animals neck and less space behind the lady. Still, a very effective shot.
Well Done!!
